This is the best title for a topic I've seen. Good job. Heard the same about Aubrey and Shugert wells. Chk I think is fracking one of the yockey wells as we speak. They just drilled one on the Mcclain unit then pulled everything out that was surprising. Eclipse is building 3 well pads within a mile of the Mcclain well. With a few more planned around Quaker City. Should be a busy year around here

Evan, it appears the McClain unit was drilled to hold some cheap Anschultz leases that Chesapeake acquired. That is an area they would not wish to lose. My family holds the mineral rights to acreage immediately south of the McClain pad. All the permitted wells for the McClain unit are to the northwest; there does not appear to be any plans any laterals to the southeast. I am not sure if they would have to create a second unit for the lands to the south or what. Have you heard of any talk of wells to the south?

I have heard of someone who received a $15,000/acre offer for their land just outside of Salesville.

There are several wells planned to the south of McClain but the acres are leased to antero and eclipse. Not sure chk plans on going that way but they did say they planned on 8 wells from that pad eventually so who knows
